NOTE: The Last book I spoke of is War Against Crime 11 (I said #17)
That planet comic was my favorite of the show. You got my vote.
thanks for the video. I love those two Bill Everett Menace covers and Planet comics 44.
I just voted for your channel as you requested. Thanks for making these videos for us.
Much appreciated!
Interesting that the Flash comic only had Hawkman and Hawkgirl but no the Flash. Wonder how often that kind of thing happened?
In Flash Comics Hawkman covers were pretty common.

War Against Crime 11 (CGC 3.0) sold Friday on eBay for $1,320 plus $16 shipping.
thanks, I was trying to find the accepted offer.
Hi Allan,
Love Planet comics both U.S. and contemporary British reprints.That Planet comics became GB Mars comic no 1(and only,I think).
Your 'hottest' video is always the high spot of my You Tube week.(Have already voted!)
I found that the War.time books My wish list is Action 52 with Superman and the other heroes on the cover in the shape of a V for Victory. Next is Adventure 78 it has Sandman and Manhunter on an Anti Aircraft gun in Kirby who was over seas.
Of all the great covers I've seen on your videos, that Crime Suspenstories #14 is the first one that I would really like to know what happens! Weird way of spelling it as well, if you say it out loud looking at the spelling it sounds nothing like what they wanted it to be, strange?
Great video. Will you recap the heritage auction?
probably
The War Against Crime #11 definitely has a horror cover. The Land of the Lost #7 cover shows a comical cartoon skeleton, and in my opinion that book doesn't have enough of whatever it would take to knock the later crime book (WAC #11) out of its recognized spot as EC's first horror cover. The covers (and contents) of the Land of the Lost series really do present a child's fantasy world, though; the comics were based on a radio show, and the later issues are rumored to be scarcer, as interest waned. The anthropomorphic fish, and oddly formed characters really do have a look all their own. Quite whimsical. Speaking of whimsical, I wouldn't call Pogo a children's comic character, at least when it was fully realized. Sure, kids liked it, too, but, once it was syndicated, the strip matured and was discovered and followed by the best and the brightest, and it became very, very influential. There were prestige-format Simon & Shuster paperback collections of the early strips (and then continuing on as long as the strip was published) starting in the early 1950's. These paperback collections were published on nice paper and were priced at $1.00 each, at a time when pretty much any paperback cost just 25 cents, or maybe 35 cents for the really thick ones. On a slightly related note, the Dell full-color-comic-book Pogo series included five issues (#'s 9 through 13) that sported 15 cent cover prices, which was pretty unusual at that time. I don't know whether that had to do with payments to Walt Kelly or whether it was just because Dell thought that might be what the market would bear, given that a larger percentage of sales may have been to adults. Anyway, Kelly died in the 1970's, and, like a lot of things, Pogo has passed from relevancy, although I'd like to think that Pogo's perhaps-most-remembered line still has relevance today: "We have met the enemy and he is us."
I wouldn't say that Wonder woman is getting no love. I think part of the problem is a lot of the people don't know that these books are going out for auction for $850 I would have bought it too! I used to get the catalogues for the auctions and add the books to the watchlist but sometimes the time slips away or it's going live at a lousy time
Maybe, just seems the prices keep dropping.
@@ComicCollectorGeek yeah, I think part of the problem is these auctions happen so frequently that some of these books slip under the radar every single week. There's an auction happening at a major auction house nearly weekly not to mention all of the smaller ones as well, so I'm not surprised that a book like this went well under the radar
Personally, I don't think it is as much a Wonder Woman problem as it is a H.G. Peters problem. I just don't care for his style of art, and I have heard of other collectors say the same thing. I have a few holiday-related covers, like Sensation Comics #38 (Christmas theme), but other than that, I just don't have any interest in his work.
I agree his art style isn't the best. Strangely, over the years it has grown on me.
